Belgium: Israeli in Brussels warns that anti-israel incitment will end in murder

"Recently the incitement against Israel in my neighborhood had reached scary proportions," A., an Israeli living in Brussels, tells Ynet. "Signs on the streets call for a boycott, all the stores have tzedaka (charity) boxes shaped like the Al Aqsa mosque. People wave Palestinian flags in the streets, yelling profanities against Israel."

A. says that "If they knew I was Israeli - they would hurt me. Anyone who puts on a kippah and dares to walk 50 meters on my street will be attacked. I think the Israeli government needs to intervene and demand that Belgium stops the incitement against Israel, because the situation will end in an attack on Jews, or even murder."

A. lives with his fiancée in the commune Anderlecht in Brussels, Belgium. She is French doctor, and he has dual Belgian-Israeli citizenship.

A. tells Ynet that "The Muslims here have created a link between Jews and Israel, and as such can attack Jews too. Just today I ran into a protest where children where yelling 'Nazi Israel'. It's not just Anderlecht. My uncle lives in Antwerp and he says things are similar there. Sadly, we bought an apartment in a bad area. We are trying to leave here as soon as possible. We would never bring kids into this neighborhood, which is filled with hate and violence. We are planning on leaving Brussels all together."

A. is convinced that Israel needs to warn the Belgian authorities of the growing incitement, "They are looking for violence here. They will attack Jews because that is what they are being taught in their mosques." more
